Demand for Luxury Jets Sparks Surprising Trend in Upgraded Interiors

In the evolving landscape of private aviation, one trend is standing out in 2025—the surge in demand for high-end cabin upgrades.

Private jet owners and charter companies are increasingly investing in luxurious interiors. Terms like “wellness-focused designs” and “superior in-flight experiences” have taken over private aviation marketing—not only in new manufacturing but in charter and refurbishment services as well. 

Driven partially by the massive increase in demand for private air travel during COVID-19 lockdowns, client expectations have—somewhat paradoxically—shifted toward higher-end experiences. When airports were shut down or severely restricted due to pandemic safety measures, any travelers with the means to do so prioritized privacy and comfort of private air travel.

As a general rule, ultra-high-net-worth individuals and major corporate clients aren’t concerned by the diminishing returns in having the highest quality flying experiences. When time and productivity are much more scarce than money, spending tends to pour into making more time and more streamlined (and luxurious) production—hence, the rising popularity of luxurious jets. 

The influx of both individuals and corporations buying and financing private aircraft has enabled manufacturers to find larger margins in luxury segments. When buyers are on waitlists that can be several years long, companies have every incentive to focus on their flagship models and make the most of the backlogged market.

As a consequence, these advancements in design technology and quality have made pre-owned, older models feel bare bones by comparison. The used and new markets are still barely recovering from the high demand of the COVID era. With mainstream luxury aircraft manufacturers like Gulfstream still seeing massive wait times for new builds, the trend toward refurbished and upgraded interior features has persisted even into 2025. 

Aftermarket upgrades and retrofit kits often focus on improving passenger health and comfort and integrating cutting-edge technology to deliver a seamless experience. Here are some popular features that have become increasingly common in new luxury models as well as upgraded pre-owned jets:
